In the last couple of years, in December/January, the 80,000 Podcast has re-posted or re-released a few episodes from previous years and highlighted them as 'classic' episodes.

What episodes will be marked as 'classic' next?

This will resolve YES to 1+ episodes, depending on how many episodes get re-released as 'classics' in the next 'batch'. Ie. from when the next 'classic' episode is (re-)released, until regular (new) episodes are released.

Last year this resolved YES for:

#140 (re-)posted on January 8th 2025 (originally released November 2022)

#134 (re-)posted on January 15th 2025 (originally released July 2022)

#138 (re-)posted on January 22nd 2025 (originally released September 2022)

#132 (re-)posted on January 31st 2025 (originally released June 2022)

#124 (re-)posted on February 7th 2025 (originally released March 2022)

#143 (re-)posted on February 19th 2025 (originally released December 2022)

#139 (re-)posted on February 25th 2025 (originally released October 2022)

Annoyingly in addition to some highlight / compilation / emergency ones there was also one regular podcast episode released in the middle of this batch.

At the end of 2024, 7 episodes originally released in 2022 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2023, 4 episodes originally released in 2021 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2022, 3 episodes originally released in 2020 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2021, 2 episodes originally released in 2019 AND 2 episodes originally released in 2018 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2019, 3 episodes originally released in 2018 were marked as 'classic'

Given this pattern, I am setting episodes from 2023 as answers

The deadline may be extended as necessary
